Dan Tynan from IT world wrote about an amazing technique going to be used by Retailers, that stores will soon be able to follow you around the store or even outside the store if you just walk by without entering using the WiFi antenna built into your smartphone. When you come within range of a properly configured WiFi access point, it can record the wireless MAC address of your phone a unique 12-digit number. Every time you pass by, that AP can log that number. If you enter that store or cafe every day, it will soon have a detailed record of when you (or at least your phone) entered and departed. Think of it as Google Analytic for people; instead of measuring Web traffic, they’re measuring foot traffic.
